Why is everyone awake when sleeping is so much fun? (micro blog)
This actually is a very valid question. I see people being most active on the internet during the night. We spend most of our day feeling tired and worked up.
But then why don’t we sleep when we should?
Why do we have to check instagram/FB/WhatsApp/email and what not during midnight? The answer to this is, we love it when noone is bothering us. We love being all on our ownself. Noone stopping us from using our phone or anything.
Midnight is our time. A time when we are away from the hustle-bustle of the noisy world. Midnight is peace.
So instead of sleeping during this peaceful time. We prefer giving ourselves some dopamine fixes. What better place to go than social media when you want these dopamine fixes. This makes you feel good about yourself.
Sleep sure will make you feel well rested. But using phone during those hours gives you a fake high image of yourself. Then you go to bed with a smiling face as got so many likes on that picture you posted.
All this essentially screws you and your health up. Bartering sleep with any other thing is not worth the exchange.
Sleep is precious. Get it when you can. Because if you don’t then you won’t when you need it the most.
